Frosty Posted May 28, 2021 Share If you told me they were leaving Italy today, I would just smile and wave. The presentation of information is so much better than the Tour. Vetplant, 'Dale and Gen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The presentation of information is so much better than the Tour. Late for the start... no worries. Just roll back on the GCN+ App. No need to remember to start the PVR in time or be left hanging if they start earlier than the TV schedule. I can live with GCN+ for all cycling coverage going forward. Especially when you get coverage from km0. Frosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Lloyd popping in from time to time. Chris_ and TNT1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted May 28, 2021 Share BTW. Don't know if it was mentioned previously, but SAGAN was docked 1 UCI point for his shenanigans yesterday. No Ciclamino points lost though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else would have dismissed Dan Martin's chances of winning the other day, given the time gap at the bottom of the final climb, and Kelly called it 100%. He seems to have stayed close to racing and his insights are very good. Is it his accent? Frosty, Vetplant and Gen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the British commentators are so pro Brit that it puts one off riders at times and when there is a s a lull during the race they speak about the biggest load of nonsense and try create controversy where there is none. So yeah I pefer King Kelly.. Vetplant and TNT1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 28, 2021 Share Some of the other commentators not mentioned are: Brian Smith Adam Blythe Marty Macrossan (did some of the Classics) - remember the Virtual RVV from last year - he was the one commentating on the Zwift race. Charlton Kirby has moved on, after what I believe was due to him talking gibberish, being drink and not well liked by the greater audience.

Vetplant Posted May 28, 2021 Share Bike Exchange slots into the front to keep things close for Yates... 3min Gap for the break. Yates looking to try and clock a stage victory, 10 Bonus seconds could be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
